I'm looking forward to them!

Wasnt today just awesome? Mr TEXOKIE and I watched him arrive and mingle with all the troops. We both had to have kleenex....not a dry eye here at our little house on the prairie!

That speech was beautiful. I have a memory like a seive today, and can only recall how wonderful it was. I'm glad I recorded it so I can listen to it again. You could actually SEE the love flowing from him to the troops and from the troops to him in a tangible way.

President Reagan once said something about us being the keepers of the flame of freedom. I feel like those precious kids out there on that ship and who are yet in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere throughout the world have claimed that torch and are truly keeping that living flame alive and protected. God bless them! God bless our President, and God bless America and her true allies!
